Abstract
Description
- This invention related to molding a tire bead and especially to curing the rubber coating on the bead wires of a bead bundle which is held in a predetermined shape. The bead wires are held in place during the vulcanization so that when the bead ring is placed in a mold for injection molding of an apex on the bead, the mold will not be damaged by out of place wires. The bead bundle is also cured in a circular shape so that problems with pinching out of round beads are avoided during the closing of the bead apex mold.
- Heretofore as shown and described in U.S. Patent No. 5,798,127, a bead bundle of rubber coated bead wires has been placed in an apex mold and held in position by blades engaging the radially inner surface of the tire bead bundle. The apex-bead assembly is then formed by injection of rubber into the apex mold cavity of the apex mold. If the bead wires extend outwardly from the bead bundle, the mold may be damaged during closing causing shut down and costly repairs. With this method the unvulcanized bead bundle may be changed in shape by handling before placing in the apex mold. Also the bead bundle may be distorted and come apart during the injection process when rubber is being injected past the bead at high velocity and with great force.
- In U.S. Patent No. 5,262,115, an apex bead assembly mold for injection molding the apex assembly is shown where the rubber coated bead bundles are held in place on a cylindrical core by spaced-apart coaxial round rings arranged in side by side relation and engaging the axially extending inner surfaces and the radially extending inner surfaces of the beads so that when half molds are mounted around the core with the beads held in place, apex portions may be injection molded. Thereafter, the mold halves are removed and the bead apex assemblies pulled off the rings. During the injection process the unprotected bead bundle of unvulcanized rubber may be distorted or come apart due to high velocity movement of the rubber past of the bead.
- This invention relates to a mold for heating and enclosing a circular member comprising a first mold member, a second mold member movable into engagement with the first mold member to provide a mold cavity characterized by the first mold member having a plurality circumferentially spaced first fingers, the second mold member having a plurality of circumferentially spaced second fingers movable into meshing engagement with the first fingers upon closing of the mold by movement of the first mold member towards the second mold member providing a circular mold cavity for the circular member.
- This invention further relates to a bead curing finger mold characterized by a plurality of circumferentially spaced lower fingers disposed in a lower ring, a plurality of circumferentially spaced upper fingers disposed in an upper ring, the lower ring being positioned in a generally horizontal position for supporting a bead bundle, and the upper ring being positioned over the lower ring with the lower fingers interposed between the upper fingers in a closed position of the mold for containing and guiding the bead bundle and providing spaces along the lower fingers and the upper fingers to accommodate variations in size of the bead bundle.
- This invention is also directed to the construction of a tire bead comprising multiple revolutions of metal wires coated with rubber and wound in a circular configuration to form a bead bundle characterized by the bead bundle being cured in a bead curing finger mold having a plurality of circumferentially spaced lower fingers disposed in a lower ring in a generally horizontal lower position for supporting the bead bundle, a plurality of circumferentially spaced upper fingers disposed in a generally horizontal upper ring positioned over the lower ring with the lower fingers interposed between the upper fingers in the closed position of the mold for containing and guiding the wires of the bead bundle and providing spaces along the lower fingers and the upper fingers to accommodate variations in size of the bead bundle during vulcanization of the bead upon application of heat to bead curing finger mold.
- Fig. 1 is a front view in perspective of a finger mold embodying the invention shown mounted in a press.
- Fig. 2 is an elevation with parts broken away of the upper and lower mold halves shown in Fig. 1 removed from the press with the bead ring shown lifted from the lower mold.
- Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view of the molds taken along the plane of line 3-3 in Fig. 2.
- Fig. 4 is a plan view of the lower mold half taken along the plane of line 4-4 in Fig. 2.
- Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of the spring for removing the bead from the upper mold half.
- Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary schematic sectional view of the upper and lower finger mold halves shown in Fig. 2 with the bead bundle held by the fingers without bottoming of the finger mold halves.
- Fig. 7 is a view like Fig. 6 showing the bead ring after molding and before removal from the lower finger mold half.
- Referring to Fig. 1, a bead curing finger mold 10 embodying the invention is mounted in a
hydraulic press 12 and has an upperfinger mold half 14 and a lowerfinger mold half 16 movable together and apart upon opening and closing of the press. In the embodiment shown, thepress 12 provides a pressure of 7 tons (7.11 metric tons) plus or minus 5 tons (5.08 metric tons) and the diameter of the bead is 22.50 inches (57.15 cm), however, with this press, medium radial truck tire beads of diameters having a range of 17.50 inches (44.45cm) to 24.5 inches (62.23 cm) may be molded with finger molds of this type. - Referring to Figs. 1-4, the lower
finger mold half 16 is mounted on abottom press plate 18 and includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced apartlower fingers 20. Vertically movable ejector andbead holders 22 are mounted in thebottom press plate 18 at circumferentially spaced positions around the lowerfinger mold half 16 for holding abead bundle 23 prior to closing thepress 12 and ejecting the vulcanized bead after the curing cycle. - Referring to Figs. 2, 3 and 5, the upper
finger mold half 14 has a plurality of circumferentially spacedupper fingers 24 mounted on atop press plate 26 of thepress 12. Four spaced apartupper ejector fingers 27 are individually slidably supported and are spring loaded on the upperfinger mold half 14 and have fourposts 28 slidably mounted incollars 30, fastened to the upperfinger mold half 14.Coil springs 32 are disposed between thecollars 30 and theupper ejector fingers 27 to urge the ejector fingers downward into engagement with thebead bundle 23 to eject the bead bundle and separate the bead bundle from theupper mold half 14 as the mold 10 opens. In operation, thepress 12 is opened to the position shown in Fig. 1 with the ejector andbead holders 22 in a position above the lowerfinger mold half 16. Thebead bundle 23 is then placed over thelower fingers 20 on thebead holders 22. Thebead bundle 23 comprises a ring of bead wires wound and coated with rubber in a bead ring in a manner well-known in the art. Thebottom press plate 18 is then raised vertically lifting thebead bundle 23 off the ejector andbead holders 22. As shown in Fig. 7,tapered side surfaces 38 of thelower fingers 20 preferably have the same slope as abead surface 40 relative to the axial direction A-A, which in this embodiment is an angle X of 15 degrees. However, in other embodiments, this angle may range from 0 to 45 degrees. The angle X is normally the same angle as the angle of the surface of the rim of the wheel on which the tire having thisbead bundle 23 is mounted. - The
press 12 is closed with thebottom mold plate 18 raised into a seating position with thetop press plate 26. The lowerfinger mold half 16 is raised into position so that thelower fingers 20 are in meshing engagement with theupper fingers 24 as shown in Fig. 6. Steam or other heat transmitting material may then be provided in the press for vulcanizing thebead bundle 23 into a compact bead. - As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, during the closing operation the movement of the lower
finger mold half 14 upward towards the upperfinger mold half 14 is stopped by the compression of thebead bundle 23. There is no bottoming out of the upperfinger mold half 14 against the lowerfinger mold half 16. This is advantageous because it provides a compact bead ring even though there may be variations in the size of thebead bundle 23. Variations may be accommodated inspaces 40 at the edges of theupper fingers 24 andlower fingers 20. - After vulcanization, the
press 12 is opened and thesprings 32 urge theejector fingers 27 downward ejecting thebead bundle 23 as thepress 12 opens. The ejector andbead holders 22 protrude through the lowerfinger mold half 16 and lift the vulcanizedbead bundle 23 to the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3 as thebottom mold plate 18 is lowered. - While a certain representative embodiment and details have been shown for the purpose of illustrating the invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention defined in the claims.
